GENEVA CONVENTION ON TERRITORIAL SEA AND CONTIGUOUS ZONE, 1958 Whole documentTHE STATES PARTIES TO THIS CONVENTIONHAVE AGREED as follows:PART I-TERRITORIAL SEASection I. GeneralArticle 11. The sovereignty of a State extends, beyond its land territory andits internal waters, to a belt of sea adjacent to its coast, described asthe territorial sea.2. This sovereignty is exercised subject to the provisions of these Articles and to other rules of international law.Article 2The sovereignty of a coastal State extends to the air space over the territorial sea as well as to its bed and subsoil.Section II. Limits of the Territorial SeaArticle 3Except where otherwise provided in these Articles, the normal baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the low-water linealong the coast as marked on large-scale charts officially recognised bythe coastal States.Article 41. In localities where the coastline is deeply indented and cut into,or if there is a fringe of islands along the coast in its immediatevicinity, the method of straight baselines joining appropriate points maybe employed in drawing the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.2. The drawing of such baselines must not depart to any appreciable extent from the general direction of the coast, and the sea areas lying within the lines must be sufficiently closely linked to the land domain tobe subject to the regime of internal waters.3. Baselines shall not be drawn to and from low-tide elevations, unless lighthouses or similar installations which are permanently abovesea level have been built on them.4. Where the method of straight baselines is applicable under the provisions of paragraph 1, account may be taken, in determining particular baselines, of economic interests peculiar to the region concerned, thereality and the importance of which are clearly evidenced by a long usage.5. The system of straight baselines may not be applied by a State in such a manner as to cut off from the high seas the territorial sea ofanother State.6. The coastal State must clearly indicate straight baselines on charts, to which due publicity must be given.Article 51. Waters on the landward side of the baseline of the territorial seas form part of the internal waters of the State.2. Where the establishment of a straight baseline in accordance with Article 4 has the effect of enclosing as internal waters areas which previously had been considered as part of the territorial seas or of thehigh sea, a right of innocent passage, as provided in Articles 14 to 23,shall exist in those waters.Article 6The outer limit of the territorial sea is the line every point ofwhich is at a distance from the nearest point of the baseline equal to the breadth of the territorial sea.Article 71. This Article relates only to bays the coasts of which belong to a single State.2. For the purposes of these Articles, a bay is a well-marked indentation whose penetration is in such proportion to the width of its mouth as to contain landlocked waters and constitute more than a mere curvature of the coast. An indentation shall not, however, be regarded asa bay unless its area is as large as, or larger than, that of thesemi-circle whose diameter is a line drawn across the mouth of that indentation.3. For the purpose of measurement, the area of an indentation is that lying between the low-water mark around the shore of the indentation and a line joining the low-water marks of its natural entrance points. Where, because of the presence of islands, an indentation has more than one mouth, the semi-circle shall be drawn on a line as long as the sum totalof the lengths of the lines across the different mouths. Islands within an indentation shall be included as if they were part of the water area ofthe indentation.4. If the distance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points of a bay does not exceed twenty-four miles, a closing line may be drawn between these two low-water marks, and the waters enclosed thereby shall be considered as internal waters.5. Where the distance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points of a bay exceeds twenty-four miles, a straight baseline of twenty-four miles shall be drawn within the bay in such a manner as to enclose the maximum area of water that is possible with a line of thatlength.6. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to so-called "historic" bays, or in any case where the straight baseline system provided for in Article 4 is applied.Article 8For the purpose of delimiting the territorial sea, the outermost permanent harbour works which form an integral part of the harbour system shall be regarded as forming part of the coast.Article 9Roadsteads which are normally used for the loading, unloading and anchoring of ships, and which would otherwise be situated wholly or partly outside the outer limit of the territorial sea, are included in the territorial sea. The coastal State must clearly demarcate such roadsteads and indicate them on charts together with their boundaries, to which due publicity must be given.Article 101. An island is a naturally-formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high-tide.2. The territorial sea of an island is measured in accordance with the provisions of these Articles.Article 111. A low-tide elevation is a naturally-formed area of land which is surrounded by and above water at low-tide but submerged at high-tide. Where a low-tide elevation is situated wholly or partly at a distance not exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, the low-water line on that elevation may be used as the baselinefor measuring the breadth of the territorial sea.2. Where a low-tide elevation is wholly situated at a distance exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, it has no territorial sea of its own.Article 121. Where the coasts of two States are opposite or adjacent to each other, neither of the two States is entitled, failing agreement between them to the contrary, to extend its territorial sea beyond the median line every point of which is equidistant from the nearest points on the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial seas of each of thetwo States is measured. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply, however, where it is necessary by reason of historic title or otherspecial circumstances to delimit the territorial seas of the two States ina way which is at variance with this provision.2. The line of delimitation between the territorial seas of two States lying opposite to each other or adjacent to each other shall be marked on large-scale charts officially recognised by the coastal States.Article 13If a river flows directly into the sea, the baseline shall be astraight line across the mouth of the river between points on the low-tide line of its banks.Section III. Right of Innocent PassageSubsection A. Rules applicable to All ShipsArticle 141. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, ships of all States, whether coastal or not, shall enjoy the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea.2. Passage means navigation through the territorial sea, for the purpose either of traversing that sea without entering internal waters, or of proceeding to internal waters, or of making for the high seas from internal waters.3. Passage includes stopping and anchoring, but only in so far as the same are incidental to ordinary navigation or are rendered necessary by force majeure or by distress.4. Passage is innocent so long as it is not prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State. Such passage shall take place in conformity with these Articles and with other rules of international law.5. Passage of foreign fishing vessels shall not be considered innocent if they do not observe such laws and regulations as the coastal State may make and publish in order to prevent these vessels from fishing in the territorial sea.6. Submarines are required to navigate on the surface and to show their flag.Article 151. The coastal State must not hamper innocent passage through the territorial sea.2. The coastal State is required to give appropriate publicity to any dangers to navigation, of which it has knowledge, within its territorial sea.Article 161. The coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorialsea to prevent passage which is not innocent.2. In the case of ships proceeding to internal waters, the coastal State shall also have the right to take the necessary steps to prevent any breach of the conditions to which admission of those ships to those waters is subject.3. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the coastal State may, without discrimination amongst foreign ships, suspend temporarily in specified areas of its territorial sea the innocent passage of foreignships if such suspension is essential for the protection of its security. Such suspension shall take effect only after having been duly published.4. There shall be no suspension of the innocent passage of foreign ships through straits which are used for international navigation between one part of the high seas and another part of the high seas or the territorial sea of a foreign State.Article 17Foreign ships exercising the right of innocent passage shall comply with the laws and regulations enacted by the coastal State in conformity with these Articles and other rules of international law and, in particular, with such laws and regulations relating to transport and navigation.Subsection B. Rules applicable to Merchant ShipsArticle 181. No charge may be levied upon foreign ships by reason only of their passage through the territorial sea.2. Charges may be levied upon a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea as payment only for specific services rendered to the ship. These charges shall be levied without discrimination.Article 191. The criminal jurisdiction of the coastal State should not be exercised on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea to arrest any person or to conduct any investigation in connection with any crime committed on board the ship during its passage, save only in the following cases:(a) If the consequences of the crime extend to the coastal State; or(b) If the crime is of a kind to disturb the peace of the country or the good order of the territorial sea; or(c) If the assistance of the local authorities has been requested by the captain of the ship or by the consul of the country whose flag the ship flies; or(d) If it is necessary for the suppression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs.2. The above provisions do not affect the right of the coastal Stateto take any steps authorised by its laws for the purpose of an arrest or investigation on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea after leaving internal waters.3. In the cases provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article,the coastal State shall, if the captain so requests, advise the consular authority of the flag State before taking any steps, and shall facilitate contact between such authority and the ship's crew. In cases of emergency this notification may be communicated while the measures are being taken.4. In considering whether or how an arrest should be made, the local authorities shall pay due regard to the interests of navigation.5. The coastal State may not take any steps on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea to arrest any person or to conduct any investigation in connection with any crime committed before the ship entered the territorial sea, if the ship, proceeding from a foreign port,is only passing through the territorial sea without entering internal waters.Article 201. The coastal State should not stop or divert a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea for the purpose of exercising civiljurisdiction in relation to a person on board the ship.2. The coastal State may not levy execution against or arrest the shipfor the purpose of any civil proceedings, save only in respect ofobligations or liabilities assumed or incurred by the ship itself in thecourse or for the purpose of its voyage through the waters of the coastal State.3. The provisions of the previous paragraph are without prejudice tothe right of the coastal State, in accordance with its laws, to levyexecution against or to arrest, for the purpose of any civil proceedings,a foreign ship lying in the territorial sea, or passing through theterritorial sea after leaving internal waters.Subsection C. Rules applicable to Government Ships other thanWarships Article 21The rules contained in subsections A and B shall also apply to government ships operated for commercial purposes.Article 221. The rules contained in subsection A and in Article 18 shall applyto government ships operated for non-commercial purposes.2. With such exceptions as are contained in the provisions referred toin the preceding paragraph, nothing in these Articles affects theimmunities which such ships enjoy under these Articles or other rules of international law.Subsection D. Rule applicable to WarshipsArticle 23If any warship does not comply with the regulations of the coastalState concerning passage through the territorial sea and disregards any request for compliance which is made to it, the coastal State may require the warship to leave the territorial sea.PART II-CONTIGUOUS ZONEArticle 241. In a zone of the high seas contiguous to its territorial sea, the coastal State may exercise the control necessary to:(a) Prevent infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary regulations within its territory or territorial sea;(b) Punish infringement of the above regulations committed within its territory or territorial sea.2. The contiguous zone may not extend beyond twelve miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.3. Where the coasts of two States are opposite or adjacent to each other, neither of the two States is entitled, failing agreement between them to the contrary, to extend its contiguous zone beyond the median line every point of which is equidistant from the nearest points on the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial seas of the two Statesis measured.PART III-FINAL ARTICLESArticle 25The provisions of this Convention shall not affect conventions orother international agreements already in force, as between States Parties to them.Article 26This Convention shall, until October 31, 1958, be open for signatureby all States Members of the United Nations or of any of the specialised agencies, and by any other State invited by the General Assembly to become a Party to the Convention.Article 27This Convention is subject to ratification.
